when magic leaves

when magic leaves


your auntie witll cry,
doting as you pack.
your absence felt
well in advance

your dad will be early
fidgeting at baggage
too concerned with
the timing of things.

i wonder, do you know
how we orbit you?
i suspect you're well aware.

our own sun burned out
years ago
leaving you

a moon to share

not vampires, or
malevolent
we watch only that not lost.
our own lives now
sagging
at the corners
dimming as you brighten.

forgive us our possession
we've lost another way.
we do not wisn to
live through you
we've done all that ourselves

turn if you will,
though,

when parting

and toss that lively grin this way.

for some reason the spacing of my poem will not hold and it just somes out the way it shows up here. ah well. the words are here at least.

You cannot conceive the many without the one.

That's quite beautiful, oui...

But--

our own lives now
sagging
at the corners


--I don't want to think too deply on that remark.

It's a wonderful, heartfelt poem and I hope you share it with "magic" one day.

Never ignore those who care for you
you will have lost diamonds
while you were collecting stones

For once:

I'm in complete agreement with Solar.

I don't want to...but I will.

May you see each other again soon.

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies. For vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra
